National History Day is an inter-disciplinary research project for students in grades 6-12. History Day teaches students to:
Conduct in-depth research
Use primary and secondary sources
Read a variety of texts
Analyze and synthesize information
Write and present historical content
Students choose a topic that relates to an annual theme, research that topic, and develop their research into one of five presentation categories: research paper, exhibit, documentary, performance, or website. Students may then enter their projects into History Day competitions at school, regional, state and national levels.
The 6th Grade, 7th Grade, and the High School US History Classes will all be participating in this years History Day competition. If you are a student that is not in any of these classes but want to participate in this years competition, let Dan know.
If you need to contact a History Day staff person for help, here's a link to their contact information.
